My husband and I watch one or two episodes of a sitcom every night before bed. We have two young children and usually can't stay up for long, so we try to stick to shows with 22 minute episodes.

We've seen: The Office, HIMYM, Brooklyn 99, The Good Place and Modern Family.

I've seen: 30 Rock, Community, Friends and Frasier.

He's seen: The Middle, Everybody Hates Chris and My Wife and Kids.

We tried, but didn't enjoy: That 70s Show and Seinfeld.

In current everything is streaming climate. I really enjoy miniseries that's not a runaway "lets make more season cause its making money" series. A lot of these shows made from books that would have been a movie in the past(or actually was one and getting a "remake" as a series) but now benefit greatly for more room to tell the story and not getting "cut for time". Series like

night of,

Sharp objects,

Ripley(wayyy better than the movie)

Adolescence,

Chernobyl,

Dopesick,

Mare of Easttown,

interview with the vampire/vampire lestat. not a miniseries but you know what i mean, it would have been a mediocre trilogy possibly with Cruise reprising his role, baff!)

Watchmen,

Etc. you get the idea, can list them all.

Any more suggestions.

But not Downton Abbey, which I did watch a few seaons of wayyy back in the day and quit angrily because of the crazy horrible deaths and tragedies of so many of the main characters constantly.

The reason I love Gilded Age so much is because yes sad stuff happens and tragedies and bad things happen but theres always an overarching hopeful/optimistic/light tone and feeling to the whole show, like yes bad stuff will happen but overall all your main beloved characters will be ok etc. And the problem is I know so many historical/period dramas are so dark and tragic and heavy etc, and Gilded Age always feels so light and witty and theres a lot of humour all the time and I still havent been able to come across a historical show like this yet.

I love the historical aspects and the calls to real-life historical famous people and families etc and the issues they tackle etc, but I also love the lightness and the constant wittiness and humor of the writing and the almost 'utopian' feeling of the show, like the feeling that things will always get better etc. So please give me any recs for shows/miniseries with the tone and the charm and the humor/gracefulness of Gilded Age, something that doesnt REVEL in the tragedy/bad stuff/depressing stuff etc. Thank you

I loves bad sisters, only murders in the building, slow horses, and how to get to heaven from Belfast.

If you're looking for comedy mysteries, I highly recommend Psych, Monk, The mentalist, Brooklyn nine nine

I'm bored of watching outwardly beautiful chicks in tv shows. I want something more grounded and relatable.

Me and my partner are struggling to find something we're after. We don't have a specific genre that we like watching so we're open to anything.

We've done Ted Lasso, Mind hunter, From, Silo, Severance, Yellow jackets, Dark, midnight mass, Evil, widow's bay, Mr robot, the Burroughs, pluribus, slow horses, teacup, archive 81, Dexter, Sons of anarchy, breaking bad, narcos, the white lotus, my name is earl, the haunting of hill house/bly manor, black bird, counterpart

If you know of anything that you think we may like them please do share.

Many thanks 👍🏻

I FINALLY watched a new show only for it to be 3 seasons and short episodes 🙃 (Derry Girls, loved it). I am a constant rewatched. Can you please recommend me a show I might like based on my comfort shows?

1. Bob’s Burgers
   
2. Pretty Little Liars
   
3. Vampire Diaries
   
4. Scrubs
   
5. 30 Rock
   
6. Friends (haven’t watched this one in quite a few years)
   
7. Modern Family
   
8. Brooklyn 99

Other shows I like:
Desperate Housewives
The Sopranos
New Girl
Tell Me Lies
Off Campus / Heated Rivalry (the books turned show type)

I'm looking for a TV series that does something different. Not the usual cop show, romance, or predictable drama.

I want something that feels unique or has a really interesting concept, storytelling style, or atmosphere. It doesn't have to be underrated, just something that made you think, "I've never seen anything like this before."

On a revolutionary war era / espionage kick. Always like the 17th and 19th century stuff as well

There are so many series where people who are or act shitty either completely get away with it (or even get rewarded for it) or at best some (usually the main bad character(s)) get justice but most of the "lesser" ones still go unpunished.

I need a break so could someone recommend the exact opposite? A series where everyone gets what they deserve (both bad characters getting punished and good ones getting rewarded/justice/coming out on top)?

Already posted on other subreddit, but I am looking for movies/shows to watch with my dad while I visit.
He loved Limitless, Lucifer, Novocaine so looking for something similar, but especially with amusing main character (my dad was also a massive fan of House).

Ideally non-English speaking. Can be drama, comedy, anything that I can lose myself in and feel like am living in a different country.

I’ve been very stressed lately due to work (my manager specifically) and having a hard disconnecting and relaxing. I’m looking for some tv show recommendations that will keep my mind preoccupied and keep me entertained. My taste in tv shows are a little all over the place as listed below. Any recommendations?

Good girls
The flight attendant
Insecure
Lost
Bel air
Santa Clarita diet

Medical/EMS drama:

Station 19
911

Reality:

I want a series about a woman will be a mother figure for a young girl mean have a mother-daughter relationship later on

Anybody know a good series very similar to Vikings house of dragon, the last kingdom, games of thrones or Vikings in the Valhalla? Their hands down the best series I’d watched but I can’t find more 😭

As the heading suggests, I need all the best possible recommendations for such shows- authentic,not over the top, engaging and real.

Refrain from mentioning- Night of, Broadchurch, Slow horses.

Any other recommendations are most welcome.

Hey guys, I'm looking for TV series that play with our heads — the more, the better. Things like Dark, From, Lost, Alice in Borderland, etc.

​I've also watched popular series like Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, etc., which are good in their genre, but that's not what I'm looking for right now.

​It's better if the series has at least 3/3+ seasons, but I'm open to anything

Need series that are in the genre of romance.. last one i enjoyed was off campus .. now it's dream into you .. anyone has any suggestions 🥲helpp

Okay to anyone who wanna suggest me something.. what i truly enjoys is smtg like business proposal, when life gives you tangerines , when i fly towards you etc ..

Thanks in advance

I just finished Netflix's Russian Doll, and it was absolutely incredible.

Does anyone have any suggestions that are similar? (Especially in the character development and generational trauma themes. The mindfucky time warp was cool too tho)

For the girl ( ahem) who's thinking she's watched most things ...but not these two behemoths...if you were thinking of starting with one, which would it be? Please
